Andy Berkhout, MSW, LCSW

Bio

Hi! I’m Andy and I’m a social worker who enjoys creative problem-solving, data analysis, and community-based research. I think there a lot of exciting ways to introduce elements of data science into social work research and practice without losing the human-centered focus that makes social work such a unique discipline. Outside of social work, my interests include learning, spending time outdoors, and playing music.

Experience

For most of the last decade, I have worked in data and quality-related roles related to child and family welfare, juvenile justice system reform, mental health services, and homelessness. Prior to this, I worked in direct service roles and provided mental health, substance use, and conflict resolution services to youth, families, and adults in residential and community-based settings.
